		Epicanthus inversus: Small skin fold which arises from the lower lid and runs inwards and upwards.
		Associated with this is an increased length of the medial canthal ligament and a lack of the normal depression seen at the internal canthus.
		The effect of blepharophimosis, ptosis and epicanthus inversus is to reduce the size of the palpebral fissure by reducing it in both height and width.

	About esotropia, types and treatment, eye turns in, cross-eyed, congenital strabismus, isotropia
		It is common for infants to appear as if they have esotropia, or inward turn of the eyes, because the bridge of the nose is not fully developed.
		This false or simulated appearance of an inward turning is known as epicanthus.
		As the infant grows, and the bridge narrows so that more of the white of the eyes (sclera) is visible on the inner side, the eyes will appear more normal.

		The blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome is characterized by shortening of the horizontal orbital fissure (blepharophimosis), congenital ptosis and epicanthus inversus.
		The condition may occur either as an autosomal dominant trait (blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome types 1 and 2), or sporadically.
		Chromosome analysis from a few patients suggests that the genetic defect causing the syndrome is localized to chromosome 3q22.

		One of the characteristic traits of the Mongoloid race in Eurasia is the epicanthus [internal eyefold].
		In a sample of more than 8500 Russian men, the epicanthus was observed in only twelve instances [0.14%; in contrast Lapps have a 2% incidence of the epicanthic eyefold-roughly 14 times more than Russians, and Karelians have a ~0.5% incidence of epicanthus, roughly ~4 times more than Russians], and only in a weak form.
		It is reasonable to assume that among these Russians alone the incidence of the epicanthus is similar in frequency to that of the Karelians], of the Vyatka and Kama river basins.

	OD Board - Russians are "the most typical Europeans"...
		In a sample of more than 8500 Russian men, the epicanthus was observed in only twelve instances [0.14%; in contrast Lapps have a a 2% incidence of the epicanthic eyefold-roughly 20 times more than Russians, and Karelians have a ~0.5% incidence of epicanthus, roughly ~4 times more than Russians], and only in a weak form.
		It is reasonable to suppose that among these Russians alone the incidence of the epicanthus is simmilar to that of the Karelians], of the Vyatka and Kama river basins.
		Thus, the incidence of the epicanthus in the vast majority of Russians is extremely rare.

	The Five Flap Technique In The Correction Of Telecanthus And Epicanthus Inversus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Purpose: To evaluate the Anderson’s five-flap technique for the correction of telecanthus and epicanthus inversus in the blepharophimosis syndrome.
		Results: The results were satisfactory with an average increase in horizontal fissure length of 5.25 mm, while in the vertical direction it was unpredictable.
		Conclusion: The technique is effective in correcting epicanthus inversus and telecanthus in the blepharophimosis syndrome.

		Both have an epicanthus, a fold of skin of the upper eyelid that partially covers the inner corner of the eye.
		Mongoloids are said to have an "internal epicanthus" while caucaoids have an "external epicanthus." I don't note any distinct visual difference between these 2 eye types, do you?
		I had always thought that I had an external epicanthus due to the fact that my eyes are rather squinty, yet when pulling my brow up, and loose skin was revealed.

	Kumar, Mol Vis 2004; 10:445-449.
		Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES; OMIM 110100) is a rare eye genetic disorder that results in dysplasia of the eyelids.
		Patients with BPES have a combination of congenital anomalies of the eyelids characterized by reduction of the horizontal fissure length, congenital ptosis, and epicanthus inversus.
		BPES patients have a variable degree of epicanthus, a broad nasal bridge, and telecanthus is the most consistent finding [1].

	Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome
		The major symptoms of Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome (BPES) are eyelids that are abnormally narrow horizontally (blepharophimosis), drooping of the upper eyelid (ptosis), a vertical fold of skin from the lower eyelid up each side of the nose (epicanthus inversus) as well as absence of the eyelid fold.
		Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome (BPES) may occur for no apparent reason (sporadically), may be the result of a change in genetic material that occurs for no apparent reason (new mutation), or may be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait.
		Eye surgery may be performed to reduce the epicanthus inversus, blepharophimosis and ptosis.
